It's starting to look great, A couple thoughts: 1) Move the sink to the right and shorten that whole run of base cabinets, (maybe 60cm Trash on the right, then 90cm sink base, 60cm DW), so that the fridge moves to the right into the prep area (or is in between prep and serving).. 2) You definitely need an elevated bar for seating to protect the folks sitting, so that will have to be a "two tier" peninsula. 3) Once you shorten that whole wall, you can either continue with a coffee bar on the left and end it with a tall pantry, or eliminate all those cabinets after fridge altogether and have a store bought credenza as a Coffee Bar. That may (or may not) save any money Anyway, that's what I was thinking. I tried to get your drawing off this page to mark it up, but it wouldn't print. So I am attaching a hand drawn.

Hi @Paul McCann, I am not sure what's you budget is, your plan for the property and if it's worth the work but flipping the functions from the front to the back of the house could be a good solution to embrace the orientation and balance the layout. Smaller room at the front, less deep, will maximise the North's light. Keep the services like laundry room, toilette and stairs in the middle where it's going to be dark as you will use these spaces for the least amount of time. Place the kitchen and dining area at the back to get all the light on the room you will use the most. Here are a couple of quick options for an alternative layout: Op1 is keeping the stairs where it is currently and do not touch the first floor. Op2 is moving the stairs that will effect also the first floor Please bare in mind that with no dimensions and very little idea of baring walls and structure of the house, location and surrounding this is just a fun exercise!

Hi. I would do something like the attached which isn't particularly to scale but existing bed 2 has been reduced to 10x10. I'd only make the bathroom a bit bigger unless you want to widen it by taking a little from the new Master bedroom. Move the bath down 20-30cm and have shelves built in floor to ceiling for storage. If you wanted you could have pocket doors from the lounge through to the office (with sofa bed) so you can open the whole lot up for entertaining etc. if you do that just think about resale ie accessing bedroom from lounge unless you do convert the loft so it won't end up being a bedroom. I'd buy a unit to house the tv and books. Maybe think about a dining table that can double up as prep area. In any case I'd get one with a bench seat that slides under on the kitchen side to save space. I'm not a pro though so just my thoughts!

That is what I had in my head as the best use of the space one plan, but we have been saving for years for this extension and I've lost my confidence having seen too many kitchens and styles and layouts! really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you very much
